The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee voted 18–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. It crossed to the Senate on April 1, 2021 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. On April 7, 2021 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On April 7, 2021 the House failed “Reconsider” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Jason Osborne. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2021-1147s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 22, 2021 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 04/29/2021, RC 24Y-0N”, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2021-1147s). On April 29, 2021 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 05/06/2021, RC 24Y-0N”, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2021-1147s). On May 6, 2021 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 05/13/21, RC 23Y-0N”, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2021-1147s). The committee's amendment (2021-1147s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 13, 2021, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2021-1470s), offered by Sen. Hennessey, was adopted on a voice vote on May 13, 2021, changing the text of the bill. On May 13, 2021 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 4, 2021 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment 2021-1147s and 2021-1470s and Requests CofC (Reps. Abbas, Rhodes, Wallace, Nutting-Wong)” on a voice vote. On June 10, 2021 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. A committee of conference met on June 16, 2021 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The committee held a work session on June 8, 2022.
